Let me be the first to say, What a relief!!

Just to get back at her for not picking up after her weiners, I'd have chipped little nuggets of concrete off of Jesus' base and left a trail of holy poop to pick up!
Posted by: Punkin | January 21, 2008 at 05:08 PM
But that's just me...
Posted by: Punkin | January 21, 2008 at 05:08 PM
Hijacked? No. Kidnapped? Yes.
Posted by: Laurie | January 21, 2008 at 05:08 PM
What would Jesus do?
(if he were kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip in an ongoing poop war)
But that's too hard to fit on a bracelet.

AD - It would fit on a belt.

They stole a concrete Jesus? Many people take Jesus for granite, but not concrete.

Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 21, 2008 at 05:29 PM
This is a tad o'er the top IMHO. On the rather rare occasions someone's dog poops in my front yard, I tell them not to bother to pick it up. My dogs certainly do it out back, and the weeds out front can always use a little free fertilizer.
Posted by: pogo | January 21, 2008 at 05:33 PM
Yes, Cheesie, it's over in the corner between pedophiles and Hitler. I hear it's rather hot and drab. But it's a dry heat.
Posted by: Punkin | January 21, 2008 at 05:33 PM
Cheesewiz, it was just a statue - for God's sake, but just a statue....
Posted by: Kathybear | January 21, 2008 at 05:34 PM
I thought that God did not want us to worship idols & images, even if it's his son. Or his son's Mom.
Am I confused? Perhaps this blog is not the place to discuss this....
...everyone at my house, 7pm. Cocktails from 7 to 7:30, religious discussion from 7:30 to 9. Naked limbo at 9:15.

No, Annie, he didn't. You must be getting Alzheimer's in your advanced old age.
Posted by: Punkin | January 21, 2008 at 06:07 PM
casey - bring the Dane on over. I reserve a special spot up in the woods in the back 40 for big guys - anything that poops big enough to stall my lawn tractor goes to the back.

How does one "sneak" in / out a concrete Jesus???
Posted by: Punkin | January 21, 2008 at 06:20 PM
CJ - someone predicted that on the last thread about this. First post, I believe. But I'm too old and decrepit to wander over and see who did it.

Posted by: pogo | January 21, 2008 at 06:24 PM
pogo, if you know Danes you know they usually have, er, "digestive issues". About once a year my Dane escapes my back yard and runs immediately to the drunk neighbor where he is fed large helpings of raw hotdogs or, on one memorable occasion, rotting balogne. You can imagine the nauseating olfactory sensations when that hits the Dane gut, not to mention the panicked 3:00 a.m. trips back outside. I should take Massive Mutt back over there to spend the night to teach that ole codger a lesson.

Good call by Annie:
"Mending Wall" is a metaphorical poem written in blank verse, published in 1914, by Robert Frost (1874–1963).

Jeff, check again....I refuse to believe Robert Frost used the word "feces" in any of his poetry.

Ah, weiner poopie, Jesus, and Robert Frost....
....I LUV this blog.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 06:40 PM
Casey - I don't know Danes except that I have never met one that didn't have a sweet disposition. Any breed which has been bred to that abnormally large size will probably have issues of some kind.

Ole C - last week, I was in the bar where they filmed the video for that song.

Codger that reminded me of:

Of course, she was also there this week. And most of today. Butt it's not like it's becoming a problem.
Posted by: CJrun | January 21, 2008 at 07:05 PM
CJ? you're still alive??
I did let cg borrow my machete today. She said something about pruning some weeds or chopping some wood or hacking some guy...
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 07:09 PM
Siouxie, it was "hacked off at some guy." Sheesh, this is how blog rumours get started. ;-)

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 07:32 PM
Annie,
Back in the late and little lamented '70's, there was a bar in Houston, Tx on Westheimer that, if one had the stamina, one could see the great Country groups for a small cover charge-$5.00 if I am not mistaken. It was called the Gold Nugget. [I think]
On Thursday nights, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Joe Stampley, ole Flivver lips, Johnny Rodriguez, would test their sets on the gathered crowd. The atmosphere was casual; between sets, the nights band would mingle with the crowd and ask how the music was playing. These guys were really nice people. Not a concert, just a test of what they were going to tour with.
How cool to dance-Texas two-step(Long Neck Beer in back pocket-[Texas tradition]) with your best gal while Willie et. alia provide the music. And when the music ends, you plunk your A33 on the edge of the stage, and swill some Lone Star with Willie.
SWEET!!
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 07:36 PM
Ole Flivver lips is Mel Tills. Just in case no one knows.
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 07:41 PM
Iggy - that is way cool. I punched your geezer bus pass, and saved you a seat next to the fridge.
Posted by: Meditrina | January 21, 2008 at 07:41 PM
Thanx, Med
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 07:43 PM
iggy - did you put peanuts in your beer?
I've heard of the Gold Nugget. Never been, though. The Palomino was the same out here - Dwight Yoakum, Rosie Flores, Lucinda Williams, a few others. Cowboy Palace is similar but very small.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 07:44 PM
Well, if any of y'all ever visit Austin, I'll take you to this place.
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 21, 2008 at 07:51 PM
JD - that looks like a hoot and a half.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 07:58 PM
The Gold Nugget was HUGE!! When I first arrived in Houston, a friend suggusted we go there. [Lots of Girls was the lure. No DISCO was the Decider!]
Rock and Roll had fallen off and for Music I was looking for something edgy.
But back to the bar; I was taken aback by the size of the dance floor and the bar. Coming from North Florida (Destin) I had nothing to compare it with. Huge Dance Floor; Large Bar; Pool tables on the second floor; (did I say large bar);
To put this rambling post in perspective, "I was in Heaven."
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 08:01 PM
You bet, Birthday Girl. Unfortunately, this place is no more. So sad.
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 21, 2008 at 08:01 PM
OT
I was responding to a personal email of great importance and needed to verify the correct spelling of Funyuns. Upon visitingWikipedia
learned that there is a Wasabi flavored Funyun.
So, in short a fake horseradish flavored fake onion ring. OMG. Who else knew about this?
And where can I get some??
/OT
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 08:09 PM
YEEEHAW!!! Annie, you're on!
Ducky, that place looks WAY cool too!
Iggy, I was thinking of that song too..
I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got my cement Jesus???
Not very practical, though. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 08:12 PM
*creeps in with forelegs stretched out of Dog House*
Yeah, cg's a bit miffed at me. Something about airport H3ll killing the sense of humor. Or maybe I'm a big jerk, but...
*thinks better about it and crawls back into Dog House (but there's a beer fridge in here!)*
Posted by: CJrun | January 21, 2008 at 08:16 PM
Oh and Cheryl, I remember those. Those are NASTY! Iffin' I'm gonna be having onion rings, it better be the real stuff. With the greasy batter. YUMMMO! My favorite is the "Bloomin' Onion" from Outback.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 08:18 PM
CJ, if you're alive and in one piece, then you're lucky. IF that were me, you'd be missing a few inches. IYKWIM AITYD.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 08:20 PM
Or singin' soprano...
Cheryl, wasabi funyns? ICK.
Have to flap off for awhile. Will return later to hoist a beer in honor of Annie's b-day.
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 21, 2008 at 08:22 PM
Sio-- oh I love me some bloomin onion. Were it not for that single item I would never be at Outback. And most of the time I eat organic, down to my shade grown beans and all.
But man, put me in my '74 VW Bus (named Stein--for the record) for a road trip into the high Cascade mountain lakes and I need nothing but a big bag Funyuns and Mountain Dew.
(And no--I do not have any desire to know what is in them--that's why its my guilty pleasure)
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 08:24 PM
Ducky, I'm buying Ms. Birthday Girl Annie her drinks tonight! (Mind you, she's a light weight...out after one beer).
TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 08:27 PM
Oh, and in case you missed it on the Yu thread, I've found his brother.
um...warning.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 08:36 PM
The video of I Love This Bar is so cool. Thanks, Ole C for writing a good tune and mentioning me. :) I'd link to the YouTube video but I'm having a lazy day.
I don't even remember if I've been here today and did my *zipping*.

In Honor of Annies Birthday...
Special Horoscope....Your home situation isn't as easy as you had hoped it would be, but that just means that you've got to make an extra effort to keep people happy and feeling heard. You can do this, though it may exhaust you.
*OR*
There is a tendency to be too strict with yourself, to insist that whatever does not contribute to security and other long-term goals are trivial. Your ambition is intensified now. You should be able to get much accomplished at this time, especially if you spend some quiet time becoming focused before you begin a project. You may find that someone close to you is supportive. You could come up with some new solutions or an invention today. Your mental discipline should come easily and obstacles will disappear when you shine the light of knowledge on them. You may want to change your plans this evening. Good feelings and a special time with someone you love are possible now. A sense of support and harmony make this a happy time.
Honest, Anniem, I know there is a better Horoscope out there. I will keep on searching.

I had a birthday once.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 08:54 PM
that was a stupid idea.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 08:55 PM
just sayin'
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 08:55 PM
Of course you did, Wyo.
Then approximately every 365 days, you had an anniversary of that *Birthdate*.
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 08:57 PM
I quit, after the first time they spanked me.
Posted by: CJrun | January 21, 2008 at 09:02 PM
I've heard, CJ, that if you had kept on celebratin' 'em, you'da got spanked at each one as well.
like I said, havin' a birthday is a stupid idea.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 09:05 PM
I like the way this one is going. I suggest that we initiate the tradition of spankin' Annie on everybody's birthday.
Posted by: CJrun | January 21, 2008 at 09:09 PM
I'm in!
Leather clothing involved?
Just askin.
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 09:12 PM

Thank-you, Siouxie
*Large Igloo SIGH*
Posted by: igloo | January 21, 2008 at 09:22 PM
Okay, Annie still scares me and I'm not spankin her. I'm pretty sure she hits back, and likely even harder. I don't care whose birthday it is.
I'd rather drink. Peacefully at the blog bar. Where no one is hittin anyone.

Iggy, you're welcome ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 09:36 PM
*snork* @ Siouxie's devil tail! I don't hit that hard, Cheryl. If you can handle funyuns, Mtn Dew, and the Northwest hill country, you'll be fine. A tetanus shot is a good idea, though. Plus I'll be all worn out from slappin' CJ around.
I just found out today that Wyo and I were born a scant two days apart. He's older, of course. I think you can tell that.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 09:38 PM
Clamato juice has vitamin C, right? Better mix Wyo's beer with that clam stuff so he recovers from his sniffles.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 09:40 PM
*Putting on my most zenful peaceful appearance, being that it's late and all. And a holiday. And so not to encourage Annie to get her gun.*
Slides a frothy cold one down the bar to Wyo.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 09:41 PM
Annie, I'm still trying to think of a punishment good enough for Wyo. He called me today and said that -24 degrees made him think of ME. I said, cuz I'm such a cold-hearted byotch??? He laughed.
Can I hurt him? Please???
Posted by: Siouxie | January 21, 2008 at 09:47 PM
The little temperature thingie is dipping down to minus numbers. Baby its cold outside. "Tell me the story again about global warming..."
Annie, you're just bein nice since I mentioned mountains and vw bus in the same sentence.
What can I get you to drink?
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 09:48 PM
Goldschlager sounds good.
thanks.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 09:53 PM
I wouldn't mind knowing what Wyo's got against birthdays, if he doesn't mind saying (here or privately). Sorry, I can't just let "birthdays are a stupid idea" just lay there. (What if he's right?)
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 21, 2008 at 09:53 PM
*flaps back in for a moment*
Cheryl, if you're pourin', I'll have one to toast Annie's b-day.
We need global warming here, too. It's been cold and rainy all day long.
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 21, 2008 at 09:54 PM
*notices Cher didn't card him*
an' Sioux, it was -20, actually. ;)
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 09:54 PM
I shoud clarify - the Goldschlager's for Wyo, for bein' so mean to Siouxie.
I'll take a Coors...just to be mean to Siouxie.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 21, 2008 at 09:56 PM
I wouldn't mind knowin' either. The gifts and hoopla I can live without. But getting togethr with dear friends, who celebrate "YAY, you exist!" is pretty darned nice.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 09:56 PM
The lady will take a shot of Solarcaine, for the spankin's.
Iggy, your turn signal is on; Dave posted that last night and I'll bet I could go over there and find a comment from you. Then again, right now, I'd bet there are Flying Monkeys in the room; I seem to have a fever, butt it saves on beer.
Posted by: CJrun | January 21, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Annie. One Goldschlager coming up! You know, add a shot of Rumple Minze & Jägermeister to that and you have yourself a Dead Hitler and the makings for a great hangover.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 21, 2008 at 10:02 PM
ok, ok, I'll out with it. throughout my personal life, many of my worst days have coincided with my birthday. I've been in the ICU twice, and once more with my (then infant)oldest son. I've been broken down in a borrowed car somewhere on the autobahn, dead broke. I've been in a foxhole in a combat zone, in jail, and there are more...
ok, that's enough for now. something about my BD comes with disaster many years. This year is was extremely ill again. (not alcohol flu, either!)
cruel twist of fate? who cares. I'd rather skip my birthday.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 21, 2008 at 10:11 PM
